RESTClient

RESTClient is a simple, Python + wxWidgets Desktop application for talking
to RESTful web services. It is designed to fill a gap in existing offerings
by offering support for GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, making it a useful tool when
exploring RESTful web services which use a wider range of HTTP verbs.

REST is cool. Playing with REST servers is hard. RESTClient seeks to make
working with REST servers for demos and the like more easy. This client was
created at Dev House Boston 3.

Everyone knows how to fetch data from a RESTful service -- you just plop the
URL into your browser, and you're done. This is good. But this isn't the
only thing REST is about. When creating data with a RESTful service, you
need to be able to POST or PUT arbitrary data, and send DELETE commands to
URLs as well. Browsers are ill-suited for this task -- although it is
possible to send these requests in code in a browser, the Same Origin
Policy limits the utility of these functions for interacting with remote
services.

RESTClient aims to fill this gap. By allowing you to enter *any* URL and
POST/PUT/DELETE to it, you can move data around more easily. By providing
a simple user interface for copy pasting data, you can fetch data from
one source, copy it, change your URL and post the data to another source.

RESTClient is a useful alternative to `curl` when dealing with large
datasets, providing a friendly user interface allowing easy copy and
paste for testing of services. This is primarily designed as a developer
tool, but may also be more friendly for demonstrating REST than curl.
